Heh, "as well as" meaning not well at all, yeah, maybe.  Current Win10
is just Win11 Light.

There is some truth to Winblows software being supreme.  I don't deny
it.  But to require their OS, is a deal-breaker.

Trust me, I wouldn't have given it to you in the first place, if there
were a chance I'd change my mind.  I paid $200 for it.  But that's a
write-off, now, because I have no purpose for it, not even a VM.
Please do use it.

I run Forte Agent and EncSpot under Wine, yeah, big deal.  It's still
a Linux machine.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
